ClearView Geophysics Inc. services

ClearView Geophysics Inc. offers geophysical consulting and surveys as part of your environmental investigations. There are many and diverse environmental problems: Pollution and contamination to land, water and air. ClearView Geophysics Inc. applies its geophysical expertise to ground investigations as part of site audits and assessments.

ClearView Geophysics Inc. offers geophysical consulting and surveys as part of your geotechnical investigations. Geophysical surveys are routinely used for geotechnical investigations. Various methods and instruments are used for locating and describing subsurface features and structures that will impact construction designs. Geophysical techniques can be used for: void detection, crane pad positioning, depths to bedrock, mine shaft detection, fracture/fault mapping, Substation grounding investigation.

Geophysical surveys are used to create maps of subsurface archaeological features. Features are the non-portable part of the archaeological record, whether standing structures or traces of human activities left in the soil. Geophysical instruments can detect buried features when their electrical or magnetic properties contrast measurably with their surroundings. In some cases individual artifacts, especially metal, may be detected as well. Readings taken in a systematic pattern become a dataset that can be rendered as image maps. Survey results can be used to guide excavation and to give archaeologists insight into the patterning of non-excavated parts of the site. Unlike other archaeological methods, geophysical surveys are not invasive or destructive. For this reason, they are often used where preservation (rather than excavation) is the goal.

ClearView can locate many utilities using its multi-frequency pipe & cable locating system. We have experience in locating a variety of underground facilities, both indoor and outdoor. Pipes, cables, wires, conduits along with major underground facilities such as, hydro cables, telephone, secondary gas, water, sewer (storm and sanitary) and communication cables.

ClearView Geophysics Inc. carries out ground-based geophysical surveys for Junior and Major Mining Companies. Common targets include gold, base metals and diamonds. Mining companies identify favourable geologic environments at the regional scale. In order to accomplish this, the following data are typically compiled: airborne Magnetics and EM geophysical data, gravity data, government geologic and geophysical data.
